I can't claim credit for figuring this song out. My friend, who makes me sick, just sat down while this was playing at my house, grabbed my guitar and figured it out.
uhhhhh forget that top line up there/\ | i kinda messed up the tab..oh well Enjoy
"Self Esteem" by The Offspring (from the album _Smash_)
(intro: a cappella) La la, la-la-la, laa la la, la-la-la laa
(Verse 1:) I wrote her off for the tenth time today Practiced all of the things I would say (When) she came over, I lost my nerve: I took her back and made her desert
I-I know, I'm being used That's OK, man, 'cause I like the abuse I-I know, she's playing with me That's OK 'cause I got no self esteem
(Pre-chorus -- if you can call it that!) Oh-h wa-ay, yeah, oh-ho-ho...(etc)...yeah!
(Verse 2:) We make plans (to) go out at night I wait 'till two, then I turn out the light This rejection's got me so low She keeps it up I just might tell her so
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus:) When she says, oh, that she wants only me Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends When she says, oh, that I'm like a disease Then I wonder how much more I can stand
Well I guess, I should speak up for myself But I really think it's better this way: The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care-- Right?? Yeah-ha-ha
(Verse 3:) While I relate this little bit, (It) Happens more than I like to admit Late at night, she knocks on my door She's drunk again and lookin' to score
I-I know, I should say no, but It's kinda hard when she's ready to go I may be dumb; I'm not a dweeb I'm just a sucker with no self esteem
